To improve security, Google's making it (slightly) harder to contribute code to Android
patreon.com
Gist: "Evidently, starting next month, all external code contributions to AOSP will require approval from two Google reviewers before they can be submitted."

You're honestly turning this into a weird negative thing? Better security by having two people review the code vs just one is a bad thing to you?
Alright.
what about this? https://kbin.social/m/android@lemdro.id/t/467656/To-improve-security-Google-s-making-it-slightly-harder-to-contribute#entry-comment-2442599
Google is not making Android for users, but itself as its advertising platform. Ever wonder why custom ROMs and even other manufacturers have a permission to block internet access for specific apps in their Android forks but Google does not? hmm… Alright
Google isn't looking out for anyone but itself. These kind of restrictions and excuses are exactly what Apple calls "security".
Yes, Google sucks, but what does this have to do with requiring additional approvals for code contributions?
What is Google going to restrict now with 2 required approval, which they couldn't with 1?
